  - my only issue is with boots, because they're tall -- they don't fit into shoe organizers. I'm cool with sneakers. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 24, 10:44 4
    - I thought that if you could put sneaks somewhere else then the boots could go where they are. if not, how about those tupperware things for wreaths? - zork Oct 24, 10:48

  - good idea, but I live in an apartment. no yard. (why do you hate shoes??) -- nm - amanda jones Oct 24, 10:39 3
    - Sounds like you need a three bedroom apartment, so you can have a room for shoes. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 10:40 2
      - but even if I had a third bedroom, what kind of storage would I use? I get that - amanda jones Oct 24, 10:42 1

- Could your friend be depressed? There are (thankfully rare) days when the energy it takes to walk out the door seems a bit more than I have. - ty97 Oct 24, 10:37 6

    - If your friend is prone to depression (and I have no clue, the friend could just be dramatic / like attention) but IF.... - ty97 Oct 24, 10:42 3

The thing about fetus/kid/pet pics as your FB pic is that I don't think you should not identify yourself that way. You are your own person but go ahea - zork Oct 24, 10:18 47
- I can't bring myself to care. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 10:33
- or you could just not take something like FB quite so seriously. - kare Oct 24, 10:28 21
  - It's fine to not take it seriously, but then it's not possible for people to "unsee" things they don't want to have. -- nm - con_carnage Oct 24, 10:39 9
    - I'm not talking about 3DFetusgate. zorki is making a different point; I was sharing my opinion on that point -- nm - kare Oct 24, 10:43 1
      - my phone gave zorki a cute new nick! -- nm - kare Oct 24, 10:44
    - it's not like they posted a death photo. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 10:42
    - then maybe you should not be on facebook then? - ghouly Oct 24, 10:41 5
      - I'm only quibbling with kare's reasoning, which isn't making sense. - con_carnage Oct 24, 10:45 4
        
        when you read things into what i'm saying, i guess you're bound to confuse yourself. - kare Oct 24, 10:53
        
        I think people *should* post whatever image they want for their profile. who cares? -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 10:47 1
        
        yes. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 24, 10:49
        
        there is certainly a difference in what is considered "appropriate"...... - ghouly Oct 24, 10:46

    - word -- nm - zork Oct 24, 10:38
    - yeah, I agree with this. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 24, 10:37
  - I think when you talk about "personal branding," facebook is a huge part of it unless you have your profile on super secret. - amanda jones Oct 24, 10:33 1
    - maybe I just don't care enough about what people think of me. those that know me know me in many ways, not just FB - kare Oct 24, 10:39
  - believe me, I don't. The other thing though is when looking for an old friend, how do I know that this is the right "John Doe"? -- nm - zork Oct 24, 10:30 5
    - look at his page? -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 10:33 2
      - what if only his photo is visible? (as mine should be, but I care so little about facebook these days that I don't even know.) - amanda jones Oct 24, 10:35 1
        
        Like I said up there, I can't bring myself to care. If I really want to find the guy, I will make the effort. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 10:35
    - true - hadn't thought of that. however, maybe John really doesn't care if he's found ;) -- nm - kare Oct 24, 10:32
    - you look at their other photos? - ghouly Oct 24, 10:31
- I think people should identify themselves however they want to. - spamlet Oct 24, 10:24
- okay, so let's argue this one: is my facebook photo acceptable under these rules? -- nm - amanda jones Oct 24, 10:22 18
  - that's different... - zork Oct 24, 10:26 9
    - if people are giving this much thought to why I've chosen the FB pic I've chosen, *that's* creepy. -- nm - kare Oct 24, 10:34 7
      - Without looking at your pic, there has been "controversy" about using children for profile pics for some time. -- nm - psilotum Oct 24, 10:40 1
        
        yeah, I've heard of that. At this point, however, I don't even notice any more. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 10:42
      - I didn't think of this because of FB, but have wondered why someone would drive a car with a licence plate like "KARESMOM" - zork Oct 24, 10:36 4
        
        good lord man, you really are tough..... - ghouly Oct 24, 10:39 2
        
        for *some* people that *is* how they define themselves -- nm - zork Oct 24, 10:46 1
        
        well, maybe, but being a parent is an important job..... - ghouly Oct 24, 10:48
        
        this, I agree with. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 10:37
    - not true at all. - ghouly Oct 24, 10:30
  - I like your pic. It's fun and different. -- nm - Krusty Oct 24, 10:25 1
    - it actually looks a fair bit like me. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 24, 10:26

  - not only acceptable, but preferable -- nm - poxie Oct 24, 10:23 4
    - you should not be mean today. I'm pretty tired and could use not feeling like shit about myself. ok? - amanda jones Oct 24, 10:25 3
      - deal -- nm - poxie Oct 24, 10:27 2
